Περίληψη:	We owe the survival of Augustus’ Res Gestae to whomever arranged to inscribe that text, in the Latin original and in a Greek translation, on the walls of the Temple of Augustus and Rome at Ankara. That temple is one of three locations in the province of Galatia where copies of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (RGDA) were eternalized in stone, but the two other copies survive in a fragmentary state. They would have each posed an epigraphic riddle without the almost complete text at Ankara, also known as the Monumentum Ancyranum and as “the Queen of Inscriptions” since Theodor Mommsen awarded it that distinction.1 The purpose of this paper is to argue, firstly, that the epigraphic copy of the RGDA at Ankara shares certain characteristics with large epigraphic displays from Roman Asia Minor related to euergetism; secondly, that the initial design of the epigraphic décor on the temple deliberately highlighted one specific aspect of Augustus’ legacy, his euergetic donations; and finally, that that décor was likely created on the initiative of the earliest Galatian priests of the imperial cult, who sought to present Augustus as their role model.
